2 to 4 sets of 12 to 20 reps with a genuinely light weight, leaving a couple of reps in reserve.
The give-away cheat is standing up and swinging as the set gets hard; the weight that lets you stay hinged and move only your arms is smaller than pride prefers. When the hinge fails, the set is over, and chest support on a bench removes the problem entirely.
